Arthur saved the black pilot because the white guy was dead, dumbass. Holy shit, how bad is your media literacy that you project your own little racist fantasies at first sight of a black guy?

Nov 28, 2021I really do like this story, and I'm excited to see how it all unfolds and how they manage to switch back, but I'd be lying if I told you I didn't laugh every time I see Aquaman & Green Arrow standing next to each other. I have a hard time differentiating them sometimes. It just adds a level of intrigue to the story for me. Read Full Review

Nov 23, 2021Ronan Cliquet's art is great here, and it's really interesting to see how these two heroes adapt to each other's styles. We don't get much more information about the why this issue, but the arrival of the main villain in the cliffhanger might change that. Read Full Review

Nov 23, 2021Green Arrow and Aquaman dont have much time to figure out who played Freaky Friday on them. Their flight to STAR Labs gets hijacked forcing them to fight masked invaders who are in on the switch. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Jan 01, 1970Aquaman/Green Arrow - Deep Target #2 is an action-filled crossover. The series has a concept that provides a spark for these characters and the reader to experience something new. It leads to an encounter so intense that it would make Tom Cruise jealous. But perhaps some of that fight would have been replaced with a small piece of exposition or character development. The change happened before the start of the first issue, so the confusion is still high. In addition, the over-abundance of green and the beard/hair combo may lead to intentional complexity in discerning which hero is which. This may grow tiring as the series gets further.

Nov 23, 2021The work by Thomas, Cliquet, Arreola and Reed is subtle at times and it's refreshing to have a fun story that reminds us of a "simpler" time that celebrates the history of these characters while not deconstructing them. We've seen that deconstruction in other places, and that's not what this series is about. So, come enjoy these two DC stalwarts in a fun tale behind a dynamic cover by Marco Santucci!

Nov 24, 2021While the first issue of Aquaman/Green Arrow: Deep Target was clunky and confusing and left off with a sense that Brandon Thomas had no idea where he was going with things, issue #2 seems to have a much better grasp of things. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Jim Werner
Nov 27, 2021Brandon Thomas continues not telling much of a story while giving readers a mystery based on the lack of information. The art is good, but I'm still trying to figure out why I need to read this after two issues. Read Full Review

Merlyn didn't believe me when I told him he was a joke in this community, at least his garbage review this time led to the truth on that matter. This was a fun issue, but nothing special.

It's just a weird (in a bad way) issue with ugly art. But I just need to keep reading this nonsense.

Yeah, sorry, Brandon Thomas doesn't really get what being a hero means. There's a panel where Arthur chooses to save only one of the two pilots. It's true, it's implied the other was a traitor, but at that point Arthur had no idea that was the case. This being Brandon Thomas, a writer absolutely obsessed with race, I do think that in his disgusting mind, he thought a hero would prioritize saving a black guy over a white one. I really hope that's not the case.
